Holiday laughter and cheer

Need a little something to get you through your last full week of work before the holidays? Check out Deirdre's visit to see Santa. I ask you - what's NOT wrong with this picture?

Of course, to this smitten mom, Deirdre even looks cute when she's crying!

The Gorman family had a great time at Breakfast with Santa, regardless of the tearful photo shoot. And Deirdre thinks this picture is so funny hanging on the fridge. She can name everyone in it, too. Cute AND smart? How lucky are we!

Sara Gorman

In 2001, I was diagnosed with systemic lupus, at the age of 26. I had been married less than 6 weeks and was at a highpoint in my career in television production. While I fought to keep hold of the life I'd known - demanding, yet fulfilling career, busy social life, packed vacation schedule - after four years of running my body into the ground, I realized I was fighting life, not living it. Thus, I downshifted almost every aspect of my life. I let go of my career and made it my number one priority to get myself back in good health. I'm proud to say that I've reached my goal, but work each day to maintain that healthy lifestyle. despite lupus. My book details the steps it took to reach that goal. A native of Indiana and graduate of the University of Notre Dame, I reside in Alexandria, Virginia with my husband, two young daughters, and pug dog.
